The Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors face off in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Friday morning in San Francisco, in a clash that combines a famous history, a contentious present, and even a touch of ownership rivalry.
The teams had met in the playoffs four times before, the first three times in the Eastern Conference finals before the Warriors relocated to California.
All four meetings were won by the Celtics, including the second and fourth seasons of their eight-year championship run in 1960 and 1962.
